Music and Carpet-Weaving. It is fairly well known that in cer tain parts of the world natives refuse to work at roadbuilding and kindred pursuits unless they have the accom paniment of music. The part played by music in sailors' tasks is common knowledge. Less known by far is the role of music in carpet-weaving, and its delicate adjustment to the various colors involved. In British India the carpets are woven o a particular tune. The custom harks back to time immemorial. The leader of the group chants the song in a monoto nous, quasi-liturgical style, and the song varies according to the color of the carpet, being repeated by all the weavers in a chorus. If the general color of the carpet is pale, the chant is monotonous; if it is a bright hue, the chorus becomes animated. lEourth District of Clubs Elects New Officers The Fourth district convention, Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs, met in annual session at David City, on Tuesday and Wed nesday of the past week.

Particularly does this apply to .the little refrigerators which, intended for use in an auto mobile, fit in admirably with the furnishings of a small apartment. This refrigerator is distinctly for tunate in its ice chamber, since this keeps ice unmelted for 24 hours. The chamber can he slipped along in the ice .box so that it can be place either at one end or elsewhere, thus making the packing of the food i simple task. The refrigerator may be had with either a zinc or a white enamel lin ing; the enamel is perhaps prettier to look at, but the zinc is more praCr tical, since it remains unscratchejj Something like 75,000 women Sa the United States are engaged in cultivating fruit, among them beint several of California's most success; ful fruit growers. r A recent count showed the arrival in Los Angeles in a single month ol more than 50 "screen-struck" girls each seeking an opportunity to be come a moving picture actress.

These slots furnish oxygen to the fuel and makes it pass through the fuel body. The hot fire is in this way maintained clear to the sides of the firepot. In the ordinary furnace, which does not have this feature, the air is drawn up through the center of the grate and fuel body, making the fire very hot in the center, but not at the edges. Often ashes collected, which to some degree insulated the walls of the firepot. In the Colton Pipeless, ashes cannot collect there is, more fire and greater heat. The Colton Pipeless Furnace Delivers uniform heat to every room in the house, in mild weather and in the dead of winter. The heat travels directly up through the furnace and through the single combination register to the rooms above. Here it passes along the ceilings to every room in the house, and as it cools, it drops to lower levels until it returns along the floors to the furnace, where it is again heated, mois tened and sent up to the rooms. Positive circulation is assured, because the furnace operates on a natural law, that hot air rises and cold air falls. There will be circulation as long as there is any fire in the furnace. Owners rejoice in the wide feed door of the Colton Pipeless Furnace. It takes a live-sized shovelful of coal or a frig chunk when the furnace is being banked for the night. It lessens the dirt, and mess in the furnace room, and saves many tempers. This feature only illustrates the thoughtfulness and care with which the Colton is constructed and designed. It is built to stand hard service. There are extra heavy fire, bowl apd grates, unusually sturdy casings, one-piece base, etc. The walls of the combustion chamber are straight up and down to make the fur nace chamber self-cleaning, and they are fluted to give greater radiation surface. The Colton is easily installed in one day. It is ideal for old homes, as it requires no cutting, altering or excavating. It can readily be installed in a vegetable cellar without damage to the vegeta bles. The absence of pipes means a cool cellar, as" well as a great saving in heat. It is equally delightful in new homes. Install your Colton now at present prices. If you are not ac quainted with the Colton dealer nearest you, write us for his name.
